I have only smoked two bowls of it that I got in a trade, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. Mine was sort of crumbly or almost granulated feel to it so I had to smoke it slow because it was burning my tongue and embers could make it through the airway. But the flavor was quite interesting.

I was interested in it last year but dismissed the idea of actually buying any. I really enjoy Esoterica blends and have been wondering about this one. I went ahead and ordered a pound from SP.com. For the price it's hard to pass up. I'm looking forward to some feedback here to determine how consistent peoples tastes here are regarding it.

It may be sacrilegious to say so but I like it better than Stonehaven. I don't get any licorice flavoring though.

I don't think so, Mike. I mean Stonehaven is good tobacco, but I've smoked others that were just as good or on par with it. I'm looking forward to trying this stuff. I remember Russ thinking so highly of it.

I think I may have sampled every Esoterica blend. I was on a mission a few months back. I liked Blackpool but did not love it. There was just something missing with it. Now Woodbridge on the other hand I loved. This is just my opinion and from everything I read, people prefer Blackpool to Woodbridge.

I got my sample from this fine gent, and my feelings were very much the same. I had a bowl quite recently and just confirmed that I like it, but don't love it.

Well sorry just had a bowl and it was just ok. almost like it wanted to be an aro, but it wasn't... wanted to be a va/per, but not....va/bur no.
It was pleasant enough, quite mild. Just not too exciting. Agree with others, like but didn't love it.
PS: no licorice noted.
